Pakistan will follow Thai economic model: PM
Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said on Sunday that Pakistan would follow Thailand's economic model of "One Tambon (village) One Product", which would help increase exports.
| So lemme see, here: We got Quetta; they produce violence there. And Peshawar; they produce violence there. And then there's Multan; they produce violence there... |
Under the model, the Thai government extends expertise to villages known for making special products and these particular products are exported worldwide. "We will study the "One Tambon One Product (OTOP)" programme and implement it in several districts in Pakistan and the government will provide loans to skilled manpower under the programme," Shaukat Aziz said while visiting the OTOP office. He also invited the Thai commerce minister to Pakistan to share his experience with OTOP, which was accepted by Thai authorities. The prime minister also asked Industries Minister Jehangir Tareen to prepare for the Thai minister's visit.
